Andre Miller has agreed to terms with the Portland Trail Blazers, agent Andy Miller has confirmed to the Daily News.

The deal is believed to be for two or three years with a starting salary higher than the mid-level exception of $5.8 million. Portland had $9 million in salary cap space meaning the Blazers did not have to do a sign-and-trade with the Sixers.

The Blazers turned their attention to Miller when they could not finalize a deal with David Lee of the New York Knicks. Negotiations with Miller picked up speed in the last 24 to 48 hours.

"I think this is a good deal," Andy Miller said. "I think it is a great deal for the marketplace."

Agent Andy Miller said the Blazers will exhaust nearly all of their $7.7 million in cap space to sign Miller.

"It's a perfect fit, I have always felt that way,'' Andy Miller said. "I think he can take the Blazers to the next level in their quest for a championship.''

The Blazers tried to acquire Miller at the February trading deadline, but couldn't agree on a deal with the Sixers, the agent said.

Miller was the Blazers' third choice in the free agent market, and their pursuit intensified in the last 24 to 36 hours, about the same time the Blazers pulled away from talks with New York free agent forward David Lee.

According to Mark Bartelstein, Lee's agent, the forward met with the Blazers this week in Las Vegas, after which talks increased. However, on Thursday evening, the two sides agreed to part ways..
